Lithium ion batteries are popular batteries used in various electronic devices. These are commonly used in consumer electronics like alarm watches, laptops, mobile devices and smart phones. But there are also other batteries which can be used like lithium batteries. Both the batteries have a great difference as lithium batteries are the disposable ones.

The batteries that are used in phones are ineffective if compared with lithium batteries. But lithium batteries can cause harm as it gets over heated, which is a challenge to deal with them.

According to researchers, Lithium can work as the best anode, but still, it is not suitable for use. During the charging process, lithium as anode can be expanded, but it can expand more in certain areas than others.

To construct the lithium battery, researchers are trying to make more constant and practical options. Now, consumers will not be required to charge their phone again and again. This could be possible if the new project started by a team of researchers at Stanford University bears successful results.

New discoveries in the technology have many promising results and all are related to the battery life. The capacity of the phone battery will be increased four times so as the life of the battery.

A microscopic layer of carbon is being used by the Stanford team, including former US Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, to keep the lithium in check and to make the battery efficient and stable for long time. This would indicate that the technology will be produced at large scale and it would be used in the gadgets for the safe future.
